(3) K-3 Ready-to-Read: Annie and Snowball series. Illustrated by Suçie Stevenson. Annie loves to play with Henry and Mudge. But she also adores pretty things, like her teacup collection, and longs for some dainty girls to spend time with. Henry helps her start a club, and seven girls "looking like angels" come over for tea and cookies, a happy success. As usual, Stevenson's warm, friendly pen-and-ink and watercolor illustrations complement Rylant's loving tale.
